    Fines are doubled in construction zones and can range in cost according to the offense, anywhere from $130 to $1,170.

    The RNC is reminding motorists to slow down in construction zones after issuing a number of speeding tickets in the Corner Brook region. Police have also increased patrols to coincide with the start of what is typically a busy construction season. Cst James Cadigan says they issued a number of tickets on the TCH near George’s Lake last week. He says fines are doubled in construction zones and can range in cost according to the offense, anywhere from $130 to $1,170. As well, speeding in excess of 50 KM over the speed limit can also lead to license suspension and the seizure of your vehicle.
